The new scripting configuration (as of 1.24 patch)

[Pharaoh_]

Ok, i have seen some new spells with comments of type "It's going to be rejected, Indexing will no longer be acceptable within the new Patch release". Let's say i want to upload a spell, in GUI, what type should it be? A non-array one? What about the hero Contest? How those spells will be judged? Hashtables in GUI, meaning? Are there going to be new functions in the normal GUI actions or from the existing ones, we will get to know how the new scripting configuration works? An example, if possible (I guess it is possible, since vJass already uses it), but with GUI material?

Yes, GUI will include all the new hashtable functions.
If you're a GUI coder, you should just be happy, as it will be a billion times easier to make MUI stuff without any Jass systems or what-the-hell-is-this indexing things.

As to what you should upload - the new rules (are they in effect yet?) state exactly what you need, with MUI being one of them.

I don't know if they are established yet, but, what's the reason of uploading a spell, when the whole section of Spells will get purged of those GUI triggers afterwards?
Yes, I know what the rules are, but i am kinda trying to save space for the spell: Can a spell be done in the current World Editor with GUI coding and be acceptable even after the patch release (following the patche's updates) or the functions will be totally new?

I hear it is possible to patch to 1.24 through the beta server. Can't tell you anything about how it works since I don't have warcraft, but if you get the new natives then you should start using them.
I bet there are already tutorials about using hashtables.

Wyrmlord is already creating a hashtable tutorial Link.

It just sucks for me because i just got use to the hang of indexing, now a new way is coming out :|

Poeple say its easier so i guess its win
